Test and Troubleshoot
- Have your Auditor create an engagement in MindBridge and add a General Ledger, Accounts Payable, and Accounts Receivable analysis.
- Have your Auditor add a new data source connection by clicking Connect data source. Select Sage Intacct and enter the login credentials defined in Intacct after completing the instructions above (i.e. User ID, User Password, Company ID).
If the entered credentials are unsuccessful, please consider the following potential causes within your Intacct configuration:- The MindBridge Sender ID has not been added under Web Services authorizations (see Step 3 of “Add Web Service Sender ID to Web Services authorizations”)
- The user credentials entered does not exist, or has been disabled in Intacct.
- The user credentials entered were not assigned limited or full admin privileges in Intacct (see Step 2 of “Setup Web Service User”)
- The user credentials entered does not have the role configured correctly in Intaact (see Step 2-4 of “Setup Web Service User”)
- Once connected, configure the data source and pull all file types available for each analysis type on your engagement data page.
If the file extraction process fails, please consider the follow potential cause:- The user credentials entered lack the appropriate subscription permissions (see Step 6-7 of “Setup Web Service User”). This is common for Accounts Receivable report extracts for End of Period - Outstanding Receivables List and Start of Period - Outstanding Receivables List, as adjusting these report permissions to “Read Only” requires you to scroll down to the the very bottom of the Subscription Administration Permissions page illustrated in Step 7 of “Setup Web Service User”.
